If We're Just Voting on Musical Talent, Then the Republican National Convention is Gonna Whoop the DNC's Butt
Funny thing is, folks, that I will be at the Republican National Convention in 10 days, along with my delegate wife, and we're learning about all of the goings on there along with the rest of you.
From Yahoo!:
Democrats will be treated to "Punk Rock 2008," "Naughty Pierre's Burlesque and Comedy Extravaganza," "Sex, Politics, and Cocktails Late Night Dance Party" organized by Planned Parenthood and the "Tent State Music Festival to End the War" hosted by Rage Against the Machine and veterans opposed to the war.
Also planning concerts in Denver are Willie Nelson, Melissa Etheridge, Cyndi Lauper and Rufus Wainwright.
Dude, you couldn't pay me enough to attend that moral abyss. Besides, the GOP has the real talent at their convention:
The Beach Boys and '70s rockers Styx are just two of the acts scheduled to entertain the 45,000 political junkies (plus 15,000 members of the media) descending on the Twin Cities Sept. 1-4. There's also former Van Halen front man Sammy Hagar and country stars Gretchen Wilson, Cowboy Troy and John Rich.
OK, I couldn't name one Styx song (Angela says that she can - go figure), but I literally wore out a Beach Boys tape when I was a teen. I also like Sammy Hagar, especially when he was with Van Halen. However, it's the members of the Muzik Mafia that have me stoked. I definitely want to party with that crew.
I also know that Trace Adkins is going to be spending some time with the Tennessee delegation. I want to get together with the superstars of country music and hit the town. Maybe I can sing a some with John Rich and Cowboy Troy, something like this...
